Verse
Laces double-knotted, chalk line drawn
Gun in the rafters, waiting on the dawn
Locker door slams like a starter's beat
Every heartbeat stacking under my feet
Floodlights flicker, track still wet
Nothing about tonight I'll forget
Coach's whistle fades to a hum
This is the count where the real race begins
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it building in your chest
Every muscle screaming, don't you rest
So plant your feet, let the smoke clear wide
We were built to run into the light
Chorus
Ignite the starting line
Feet up, hands up, we're alive tonight
Every gun shot turns to fireflies
Ignite the starting line, we fly
Sparks under our shoes
Nothing left to lose
Ignite the starting line, hold tight
We're not stopping, we're alive
Verse
Stopwatch cracked but the pulse stays true
Neon paint on my collarbone too
Strangers turn to teammates fast
Every shadow chasing the past
Stadium roaring, the crowd stands tall
Nobody here's afraid to fall
Bass drum matching my second wind
This is the mile where the night begins
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it building in your chest
Every muscle screaming, don't you rest
So plant your feet, let the smoke clear wide
We were built to run into the light
Chorus
Ignite the starting line
Feet up, hands up, we're alive tonight
Every gun shot turns to fireflies
Ignite the starting line, we fly
Sparks under our shoes
Nothing left to lose
Ignite the starting line, hold tight
We're not stopping, we're alive
Bridge
No finish tape, no clock to chase
Just this moment, just this place
Hands up high like we own the sky
Tonight we run and never ask why
Chorus
Ignite the starting line
Feet up, hands up, we're alive tonight
Every gun shot turns to fireflies
Ignite the starting line, we fly
Sparks under our shoes
Nothing left to lose
Ignite the starting line, hold tight
We're not stopping, we're alive
